Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Oct. 13, 1914.

Application filed February 17, 1914; Serial No. 819,140;

T 0 all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, ABRAHA SONDAGK, a subject of the Emperor of Russia, residing in the borough of Manhattan, city, county, and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Bedpost-Brackets, of which the following is a specification.

My invention. relates to bedsteads and particularly to the construction of the brackets employed to connect and support the end and side rails by the corner posts.

The object of my invention is the pro-i vision of a bedpost bracket made from stamped blanks of sheet metal, so as to be easily and inexpensively constructed, and in which the side secured to the post'is suiiiciently wide to make asubstantial connec-v tion between the parts and the opposite side is preferably narrow and has a bracket for connecting and supporting the short narrow rails and is provided with a socket for receiving the stud member connected to the end of a long rail. I a

The particular construction of my improved bracket will be hereinafter more par: ticularly described.

In the drawing, Figure 1 is a plan of one of the blanks from which my improved bracket is constructed. Fig. 2 is aside elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a plan of the other blank from which my improved bracket is constructed. Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the same. Figs. 5 and 6, are a side and end elevation respectively of the spacer. Fig.2? is aside elevation of the stud member employed to connect the long rail, to the bracket, showing the long rail in dotted lines. Fig. 8 is an end elevation of the same. Figs. 9 to 12 inclusive are plan views and partial cross sections illustrating the various steps in forming my improved bedpost bracket. Fig. 13 is a sectional plan and partial cross section of my invention. complete. Fig. 1 1 is a side elevation of the same, and Fig. 15 is an elevation and partial cross section taken on the opposite side to that shown in Fig. 14:.

Referring to the drawing, my improved bedpost bracket is preferably made of two blanks, one of which is indicated at a, Figs; 1 and 2, and comprising side members 20 in which are provided apertures 21, an in termediate or connecting member 22, a short side member 23, a top member 2 1, a bottom member 25, a transverse member 26 in which there are apertures or slots 27, an inner side member 28 111"Wl110l1 there are apertures 29, a flange member 30 in which there is a bolt hole 31, and a flange member 32 in which there is a bolt hole 33. The other blank indicated at Z2 is illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4L and comprisesa body portion made of sheet-metal provided at one side with lugs 3 1 andat the other side with an end member 36, the body portion in this blank being apertured as indicated at 35.

The spacer employed between the side members of the bracket are shown in Figs.

5 and Sand indicated at 0, the spacer being provided in suitable positions with the apertures or rivet holes 37.

short side member 23) This, as will be I understood, causes the then inner face of the inner side member'28 to lie against the inner face of the side member 20, as indicated in Fig. 10, leaving the short side member 23 parallel with the Side/5111611 1161 20. The blank is then bent on the line 40, to turnthe flange 30 down into the position shown in Fig. 10, after which theblank is further bent on line 11 to turn the flange 32 down into the position shown in Figs. 11 and12. y l

The top member 24 and the bottom member 25 are then turned on the lines 4E2v and 13 respectively, to the positions as shown in Figs. 11 and 12. These members 2& and 25 are provided with curved or recessed edges adapted to "conform to and bear against the outer surface of the post 19, to which the bracket is secured. y i

The end member 36 of the blank Z) is turned at right angles thereto on the line Hand after the parts havebeen so constructed, the blank 6 isplaced in position with the lugs 3 1 thereon within the slots 27 in the transverse member 26. The spacer o is then placed in position with one edge there of against the adjacent surface of the end member 36 and the parts are fastened to-" gether by rivets or bolts apertures 21, 27 and 35. i

The short rails 46, or those runningparallel with the head and foot members of the bedstead, are secured to the flanged portions 30 and 32 of the bracket by means of bolts 47 and as, the former being passed through passed through the the bolt holes 31 in the flange 80 and the latter through the bolt holes 38 in the flange 32.

As hereinbefore stated, the bedpost to which this bracket is adapted to be secured provides for an. opening or socket between the inner side ofthe member Z), the inclined edge of the spacer or the inner surface of the inner. side member 28 and the adjacent surface of the transverse member 26. This socket 52 is adapted to receive a stud 53 on the engaging member (Z, which by suitable bolts 56 is connected to the long rails 55. The engaging member d is also provided with a projection 54 adapted when the parts are in place, as shown in Figs. lt and 15, to lie outside and against the outer face of the end member 36.

I claim as my invention:

1. A bracket comprising a side member,

- a loop member for. engagement with a support, a short side member, a transverse member, anauxiliary side member connected at one edge to the said transverse member, and means for securing the said auxiliary side member to the said side member so as to provide a socket between the same.

2. A bracket comprising a side member, a loop member for engagement with a support, a short side member, a transverse 'member, an lnner side member in contact with the said side member, an auxiliary side member connected at one edge to the said transverse member, a spacer between the said inner side member and auxiliary side member, and devices for connecting the said side member, inner side member, spacer, and auxiliary side member.

3. A bracket comprising a side member, a loop member for engagement with a support, a short side member, a transverse memher, an inner side member in contact with the said side member, an auxiliary side member vconnected at oneedge to the said transverse member, a top member and a bottom member connected respectively to the said short side member and adapted when in position to contact with the said support, a spacer between the said inner side member and auxiliary side member, and devices for connecting the said side member, inner side member, spacer and auxiliary side member.

4;. A bedpost bracket comprising a side member, a loop member for engagement with a bedpost, a short side member, a transverse member, an inner side member in contact withthe said side member, an auxiliary side member connected at one edge to the said transverse member, a top member and a bottom member connected respectively to the said short side member and adapted when in position to contact with the said bedpost, an angle bracket connected to the said inner side member and adapted to be connected to a short rail of a bedpost, a spacer between the said inner side member and auxiliary side member, and devices for connecting the said side member, inner side member, spacer and auxiliary side member.

5. A bedpost bracket comprising a side member, a loop member for engagement with a bedpost, a short side member, a transverse member having apertures therein, an inner side member in contact with the said side member, an auxiliary side member having lugs in one side thereof adapted to fit Within the recesses in the said transverse member, a top! member and a bottom member connected respectively to the said short side member and adapted when in position to contact with the said bedpost, an angle bracket connected to the said inner side member and adapted to be connected to a short rail of a bedpost, a spacer between the said inner side member and auxiliary side member, an end member connected to the auxiliary side member and extending between the same and the said inner side member and against the inner surface of which one: face of the spacer contacts, and rivets passed through the said side member, inner side member, spacer and auxiliary side member to secure these parts in position.
